NEW DAWN IN SPORTS BETTING AS UK BILLIONAIRES PARTNER WITH KENYAN COMPANY

By African Times Special Correspondent

Kenya’s sports betting is headed for interesting

times following the entry of a new company

with backing from billionaire British investors. 

Triple 5bet which will officially be launched in

Kenya soon, has received the nod from the

Betting Control and Licensing Board [BCLB). 

The company has partnered with one of the

largest betting outlets in the UK, according to

Triple5bet Operations Manager Jack Spencer,

which will be unveiled during the launch.

Some of the top UK betting companies are 888

Sports, Unibet and Hopa. 

Following partnership with deep pocketed

investors, Triple 5bet is bringing a gaming

experience never seen before in this country,

including the largest ever jackpot payout.

It could be anywhere in the range of Ksh100

million to Ksh 500 million, revealed Mr Spencer.

In 2001, a roof repair man in the UK placed a

Ksh1.50 bet in an English Premier League

match and won nearly Ksh300 million.

 Triple 5bet will bring this international gaming

experience to Kenya, through the enormous

variety of sports, top quality odds, amazing free

bets, virtual games and live gaming. 

In addition, Triple 5bet will offer the latest

sporting news and cutting-edge pre-match and

post-match analysis. This will equip punters

with relevant information that will enable them

place winning bets.

It has also emerged that Triple 5bet’s UK

partners are already in talks with various

sporting teams in the country, on possibilities

of sponsorship.

 “It’s noteworthy that our focus is mainly on

teams at grassroots level. Our motive is to hone

sporting talent. This will potentially accord

young sportspeople a path to livelihood as well

as bring sporting glory to the country,” says Mr

Spencer. 

This news will certainly stir the local sports

betting industry as most sporting activities

resume around with the gradual

easing of the pandemic-driven lockdowns.
